Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Chop the Scallions

    Wash the scallions thoroughly, then chop them finely, separating the white parts from the green parts.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt and bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Drain and Mash

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander. Return the potatoes to the pot and use a potato masher to mash them to your desired consistency.

  3. 5

    Add Ingredients

    While the potatoes are still hot, add the butter, milk, sour cream, the chopped white parts of the scallions, black pepper, and additional salt to taste. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Garnish with the chopped green parts of the scallions on top before serving.
